In linguistics , a broken plural or internal plural is an irregular plural form of a noun or adjective found in the Semitic languages and other Afroasiatic languages such as Berber languages Berber . Broken plurals are formed by changing the pattern of consonants and vowels inside the singular form. They contrast with sound plurals or external plurals , which are formed by adding a suffix . While the phenomenon is known from several Semitic languages, nowhere has it become as productive as in Arabic language Arabic . Arabic In Arabic language Arabic , the regular way of making a plural for a masculine noun is adding the suffix n for the nominative or n for the accusative and genitive at the end. For feminine nouns, the regular way is to add the suffix t . However, not all plurals follow these simple rules. One class of nouns in both spoken and written Arabic produce plurals by changing the pattern of vowels inside the word, sometimes also with the addition of a prefix or suffix. This system is not fully regular, and it is used mainly for masculine non human nouns. Human nouns are pluralized regularly or irregularly.
